Shōan

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shōan (正安) was a Japanese era (年号,, nengō,, lit. "year name") after Einin and before Kengen. The period started in April 1299 and ended in November 1302.[1] During this time, the emperors were Go-Fushimi-tennō (後伏見天皇) and Go-Nijō-tennō (後二条天皇).[2]
